superstltlons About. wood

From the TyrA, from Switzerland.
from Germany OF from Brittany, com
well asccrtaincd accounts of the POPULAR
belief III certain wild spirits of the wood,
who are painted in all the most frigltful
shapes the imagination can suggest, and
arc characterized by il.eir delight in
every possible form of m:G violence.
They kidnap and dcvour children, be-
witch the cattle, and lead men to loss
their way in tho forest. They can MS
sumo any size, from, the most diminutiye
10 the most gigantic; nor Is any form Of
bird or beast an impossible i~mpersonation
rf them. The Skongnian, the forest
spirit of Sweden, il like - man, but tall
rs tho highest tree; lie dccoys men into
the wood. and, when they have horc!essly
lost their way, and begin to weep for
fear. leaves them with knocking laughter.
The conception is well nigh identical
with that found among the natives of the
forests OF Brazil, showing with what uni
formity similar conditions produce similar
effects on tho human mind. But tho
Russian spirits Ljeschi from n Polish
word for woOd) are even moro .ignificant:
for not only arc tho usual diabolical at
tributes assigned to them, such ar tho
leading OF men astray OF tho sending to
them OF sickness. but also the conven-
tional diabolical features. Their bodies
nre after the human pattern, but they
have the cars and horns OF goats, their
feet are cloyen, and their fingers end in
claws. Tho Russian wood spirit is, in
TACT, tho devil Of medieval imagination
and nothing Overwhelmingly Maya

Cheerful Women.

In marrying men should seek happy wo-
men. They make a terrible mistake when
they marry for beauty, or for talent, or fol
style. The sweetest wives are those who
possess the magic secret of being happy under
any and every circumstances. Rich or poor
high or low, it makes no difference, the
bright little fountain bubbles up Just as must.
cally in their hearts. Nothing ever goes wrong
with them-no trouble is too serious for them
TO make the best OF it, Was ever the stream
of calamity so dark and deep that the sun.

tides would not wake an answering CLEAN
Joyous-tempered people don't know half the

little women talking with you, and we are
not afraid to wager anything she can cure
you. The long line about the mouth
will relax-the cloud of settled gloom will
vanish, nobody knows where-and the first

what blessings are these happy women How
often their little hands guide the ponderous
machine of life with almost an invisible
